Man in terror probe skips FBI questioning
Airport shuttle driver needed to spend day with lawyer, spokeswoman says
DENVER - A man under investigation in a terrorism probe in New York and Colorado did not report for a fourth day of FBI questioning Saturday so he could spend a much-needed day with his attorney, the attorney’s spokeswoman said.
Najibullah Zazi had been scheduled to go to the Federal Building in Denver on Saturday. But Wendy Aiello, a spokeswoman for Zazi’s defense team, told The Associated Press that Zazi and his attorney contacted the FBI to cancel the meeting.
“They are meeting as client and attorney to review the case and the entire situation,” Aiello said. “Further meetings with the FBI are not being ruled out.”

A computer belonging to alleged al Qaeda suspect Najibullah Zazi showed he had researched baseball and football stadiums and sites used in the recent Fashion Week event in New York City, law enforcement officials tell ABCNews.com.
Zazi, 24, had been scheduled to spend a fourth day today being questioned by the FBI but his lawyer, Arthur Folsom, canceled the session.
“He has taken the day to consult with his client,” said Wendy Aiello, a spokeswoman for the lawyer.
Zazi is not in custody, she said.
While officials say they do not know the targets of the alleged plot, the contents of Zazi’s computer are considered a valuable insight into what he might have been planning.
After first denying any ties to al Qaeda, Zazi has now admitted certain ties developed during trips to Pakistan, law enforcement officials told ABCNews.com.
The officials said text messages sent by Zazi suggest the plot was nearing the attack phase. One message said the “wedding cake is ready,” which authorities say may have been code to indicate the attack was ready. Al Qaeda operatives have frequently used references to weddings to disguise planned terror attacks.
